THE Senate on Wednesday night passed the Breathalyser Bill, formally known as the Motor Vehicle and Road Traffic (Amendment) Bill 2006.

Under the Bill, drunk drivers face a $5,000 fine and six months jail for a first offence, a $10,000 fine and 12 months jail and 12 months disqualification for a second offence at the court�s discretion, and permanent disqualification for a third offence.

The Bill empowers police officers to demand samples of breath, and in certain instances samples of blood, from suspected drunk drivers.

Some 14 Senators spoke on the Bill which received the three-fifths special majority required to be passed. The Bill comes into effect whenever it is proclaimed by the President.

The Bill has been passed by the House of Representatives on June 1 after amendments had been previously made by a joint select committee.
